Anemone 



Angelonia 



coronaria, 1', Ap., etc., various. The favourite 

 Poppy Anemone, one of our best garden flowers. 

 A popular florist's Mower a number of years ago. 

 Easily raised from seeds, which should be mixed 

 with dry sand to separate them. There are both 

 single and double forms. The finest strain is the 

 St. lirigid. A good wh. is The Bride. 



fulgi'tis, 1', My., ;c. An invaluable plant, classed 

 by botanists with hortensis, but known to gardeners 

 as distinct. One of the most brilliant spring 

 flowers. It is difficult to bloom in some gardens, 

 without apparent cause. Give a full exposure to 

 the sun, so as to ripen the tubers in the soil, though 

 it should be moist early in spr. There are several 

 forms, the double and the single variety gneca both 

 being good. Seeds or division. 



Hepatica, fi", Feb., Men., bl. The common Hepat- 

 ica, for so many years a garden favourite. There are 

 a number of vars., among them being alba, wh. ; 

 nibra, red; splendens, fine red; Barlowii, pur. bl. ; 

 rosra, pale pk. ; variabilis, marbled foliage; double 

 red ; double bl. ; and a very rare double wii., besides 

 others. Acutiloba only differs in the form of the 

 IraM's. Hepatica* like a rich soil with plenty of 

 shade in sum. Disturb them as little as possible. 

 (xi/i>x. Hepatica triloba and H. americana.) 



horti-iiMs, 1', Ap., red, bl., etc, Kecognised as a. 

 species, including fulgens, stellata, and their forms, 

 with pavonina. Probably related to coronaria, but 

 of less value in cold districts. There are many 

 single and double forms. A pretty form of the tvpe, 

 named stellata fl. pi., has (harp-pointed double 

 llowrrs. and is distinct from fulgens fl. pi. Divi- 

 sion of tubers, or seeds sown in spr. 



japonica. 2', aut., red. One of the best of our 

 aut. hdy. flowers, and grown in almost every 

 gaiden. The wh. form, j. alba, or Honorific 

 Jouhrrt, is a charming flower, and the ro. coloured 

 j. hybrida is also finer than the type. A number 

 of new forms- have been raised from seed ; of these 

 may be named Lord Ardilaun, Lady Ardilaun. 

 Whirlwind, Mont Rose, Coupe d'Argent, Beaute Par- 

 faite, Collerette, and Vase d'Argent. A good strung 

 soil, with sufficient moisture, suits this Anemone. 

 Propagated by division, root cuttings, and seeds, 



narcissillora, 1', My., wh. A pretty Anemone 

 with umbels of milk wh. flowers. Grows well in 

 borders of light soil, or in the rock garden. Partial 

 shade. Seeds or division. 



nemorosa, G", Mch., wh. Our native Wood 

 Anemone, very variable in colour, and the parent 

 of a number of forms. The best with bl. flowers 

 are robinsoniana and the newer Allenii. Other 

 good coloured vars. are rosea, purpurea, and 

 cserulea. The best single wh. is grandiflora. 

 Bracteata, with a frill of grn. round the blooms, is 

 very attractive ; and the double form of nemorosa 

 should be grown everywhere. All like a peaty soil 

 and shade. 



Pulsatilla, ]', Ap., bl. The Pasque Flower, a 

 beautiful British plant which thrives best on a dry 

 chalk soil. Propagated by seeds. The new form 

 alba has pretty wh. blooms. 



svlvestris, I', Ap., wh. A very beautiful species 

 which prefers a shady position in light soil. The 

 double var. is a charming plant.

ANEMONOPSIS. 



The only member of the genus (ord. Ranuncula- 

 cese) is a tine herbaceous plant named macrophylla, 

 which bears a resemblance to Anemone japonica. 

 It grows 3' high, blooms in July, and has white 

 flowers with twelve petals, tinged outside wit.i 

 purple. It likes a sandy soil, not too dry, with 

 some shade from strong sun. Propagated by 

 seeds and division in spring, 



ANEMOP^EGMA. 



Stove climbers (tnrd. Bignoniacea;) with the habit 

 of Bignonia, and therefore suitable for training up 

 the pillars and rafters in tall houses. Flowers in 

 clusters, or racemes, white, yellow, or purplish. 

 Propagation is by imported -seeds in heat. Also by 

 cuttings of short shoots getting firm at the base, 

 taken off with a heel of the old wood and plunged 

 in pots in a hotbed, or placed in a propagating 

 case. Fibrous, turfy loam broken up roughly, and 

 a third of peat with plenty of sharp sand, suit. 



Principal Species : 



racemosum, 10' to 30', ctematideum (nee Pithe- 

 buffpur. ' cocteuiuiu). 



ANETHUM. 



Graveolens (now Peucedanum graveolehs), 3', 

 yellow (ord, Umbellifera;), is the common Dill, the 

 leaves being used for soups, and the umbels and 

 leaves for pickling. Biennial. Sow seed when ripe, 

 or in spring. Dry soil. 



ANGELICA. 



Tall, coarse growing, hardy herbs (ord. Umhellif- 

 era), of no particular value. .The leaf stalks at 

 one time were blanched and eaten like Celery, or 

 candied and used as a confection. Propagation by 

 seeds; also by division of the stools. Of the 

 easiest culture in any garden soil. 



Principal Species : 

 officiualis, 4' to 6', Jy., songorica, 4', Jy. to Sep., 



gru. (*//. Archangelica). wli. 



ANGELONIA. 



Herbaceous perennial herbs (ord. Scrophu- 

 larinefe) allied to Alonsoa and Nemesia, and 

 some of them really very pretty. Some require a 

 dry stove, others do well in a greenhouse, or in a 

 frame in summer. Propagated by seeds in a warm 

 pit in February and March to flower the same 

 year. Also by cuttings of shoots when 3" long, 

 in sandy soil under a bell-glass or hand-light, 

 and not kept too damp. Fibrous mellow loam two 

 pm'ts, leaf mould one part, and plenty of sharp 

 saiid, will suit. Some species may be divided.
